I have a redhat 9 server that keeps using up all of the ram until I reboot.
I rebooted last night and not it is back at 60%... by tonight it will be up
to 80-90%. I use top and see that the main processes - spamassassin apache
communigate clamav take up about 60~100mb of ram (the server has 1006mb) How
can I stop this from happening? I run top and I dont see any memory hogging
programs? What is taking all of my ram? The server is updated as much as
possible. I am running on kernel 2.4.20-19.9

This is from top: (swap never goes up... like it doesnt get used much)

Mem: 1030668k av, 642996k used, 387672k free, 0k shrd, 169708k

Swap: 262072k av, 840k used, 261232k free 107868k
